I never heard HSH as a student from 1977-81.  Not once.

The LSJUMB always played it after football games when I was a student from 1971 to 1975. But the players never came out to sing along, and not many other people did, either. The only ones who sang were what I then considered "older" fans (probably 40 and up). None of us students knew the lyrics aside from the line, Hail, Stanford, hail.

Come Join The Band, on the other hand, was pretty popular. I don't remember anybody singing along, but everybody knew the melody and clapped in rhythm.

It is possible that they were playing it after games when I was there...but since I would not have recognized it or known what it was, it may not have registered.  It has certainly gained in importance to Stanford culture over the last few decades.
